Shivaratri
Maha Shivaratri is the most auspicious night, the most auspicious occasion in the whole year for human beings to realize “Paramashivoham,” to BE Paramashiva!
It is the night when an explosion of super-conscious energy happens on our planet. Vedic cosmology traces this explosion back to the Big Bang, the moment of the creation of our universe.
"You spent all your nights dreaming & sleeping... but THIS night is to WAKE UP from all the dreams." - Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Scriptural References
In the sacred Vedic text Arunachala Purana, this momentous happening is depicted as the Lord Shiva (symbol of cosmic energy) taking the form of an endless shaft of light spanning earth and sky. Every year, by a fortunate alignment of cosmic forces, a tiny reflection of the same explosion happens on our planet on this night.
Spiritual Practices on This Day
Vedic science advises us to observe a fast and spend the day and whole night in prayer and meditation, to prepare the body and mind to receive the huge influx of spiritual energy. The highly charged atmosphere makes meditation effortless, allowing us to leap easily into higher states of awareness. On this night, the whole universe seems to support us for this experience.
The highly charged atmosphere makes meditation effortless, allowing us to leap easily into altered states of consciousness. On Maha Shivaratri, the whole universe support us to experience Sadashiva!
